Green Lantern: War Journal 8 - There are some things in this that seem too,powerful and I'm not sure I buy into.  However, it's still a good tale and I like a lot of the different aspects. The stuff in Gardners apartment was pretty funny.

Green Arrow 11 - weird turn in the middle. Made me feel like I missed something. Still, lots of action in this comic and the return of a classic villain makes it fun.

Absolute Power 2024 FCBD Special Edition 1 - Hmmmm. This might be worth picking up after all.

EDIT TO ADD - Star Wars: Thrawn - This was not bad, although the art seemed to worsen as the issue went on, but it isn't quite good enough to keep me coming back. Maybe once it is done I will try again, but...

House of Brainiac - This was okay. I kind of wish I would have saved reading this for next week, only because I have (had) so many titles I wanted to get through this week, but, sure, yeah, okay.

Constantine - Enjoyed this more than the last issue, but at the same time, still not hitting as well for me as the first two. I did like it, it is just not as punch me in the face. Ha, but hey, I'm on for the long haul, so...
Still enjoy Swampy and John's interactions.

Free Comic Book Day 2024: Bloodhunt/X-Men - The opposite of Perry for me. This didn't get me interested in Bloodhunt at all.  But he's more of a Dracula fan than I am.  The X-Men preview wasn't much but I can see where it might have potential.

Free Comic Book Day 2024: Star Wars - nether story was bad but nothing here to get me to jump back into the Star Wars world.

Free Comic Book Day 2024: Ultimate Universe/Spider-Man - the Ultimates could be interesting but none of the Spidey stuff engaged me.

MAD Magazine 2024 FCBD Special Edition 1  - Wow. Not the Mad magazine I remember.  Or maybe it is but I'm just old.  Fun idea spoofing the DC heroes but not very funny sadly.

John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America 4 - I've completely lost interest sadly.  I couldn't make it halfway through this issue.  Wound up just flipping through it to the end.  I'll let this mini finish and then think about coming back but for now I'm done.

I am, but I think what really got me

Spoiler

was Dracula NOT being the cause of this, but a potential partner in resolving it.

Didn't expect that to be the case. Yep, stoked for these 4 issues

I can totally understand. Not the best of issues, though I found the last quarter of the issue to be the best part (having the answer, the resolution and revenge part, haha) but yeah, especially after the last issue I do understand. I'm too much a fan of the character to stop, for now.

Thor - Pretty "fun" issue and the art helped sell the 'old tale' of this issue. And hey, as a fan, I loved seeing that last panel
